Any advice would be greatly appreciated - DP and I are exhausted!
DD (3 weeks) has always slept very well during the day downstairs in her moses basket. However for the past 2 weeks or so from about 6pm she just will NOT go to sleep!! She is constantly crying/whinging and if she does fall asleep in your arms, the moment you put her down, her eyes ping open and we are back to square one. At first we thought it was colic, but now i'm not so sure as she doesn't bring her knees up when she cries, but will go stretched out rigid, the reason for which i am unsure.
This is all very well and good whilst it's the Xmas holidays etc, but we are aware that we have neighbours and DP will be returning to work soon too so we have to sort SOMETHING out to stop her crying from 6pm til 2.30am every single night!!
I am thinking that perhaps when/if she does drop off at that sort of time, to put her in her basket and then put that in her cot in her room so that it's more peaceful than downstairs with us and the tv blasting.
At the mo, all i can do is constantly BF her to get her to sleep but my arms are killing me from constantly holding her!!
Any help would be FAB!
TIA
(duty calls, must get baps out for screaming LO again).
